It took a long time till the Polish let their first full-length output off upon mankind – eight years, to be exactly. Since their founding in 1999 they spend most of the time by releasing demos, split-releases, playing gigs and with line-up changes. But this lead time didn’t do any harm.
Let Him Die – no difficult task to figure out who BLOODTHIRST want to see passing ;) Titles like (Upon The Cross) Tormented And Lost, Crush The Bastard Nazarene or Excommunion (Sacrifice For Hell) attach the inverted cross. Those of you whose mouth is bloodying and who styled with corpsepaint while awaiting pure Black Metal can remove the make up. The program is dominated by Thrash Metal with discreet leanings to Black Metal. The rough sound reminds me of old Kreator and God Dethroned. Yes, one is temporarily waiting for the one or other shouted Tormentor by the vocalist with the soft name “Rambo”. The way BLOODTHIRST practice Thrash Metal glisters through and through by its old school image. No matter if that are the riffs, the regular solos or the drumming, it’s the particular song structure which gives the charm of the eighties. God Dethroned comes into play when the typical melodies are played in the continuously fast songs - these kinds of melodies the Dutch guys are smashing. Similarity of voices cannot be dismissed either. Winds Of Death or Violent Hordes are very good examples for this. Never mind! The most important fact is: BLOODTHIRST take no prisoners at any songs! Even if the sound is not crystal clear – even if Let Him Die doesn’t bear the right hit… every song is bashed right into your marrow. Solid stuff!
